The famed coelacanth researcher and dinofish.com site author Jerome Hamlin sends along the above photographs.

Hamlin writes:

Here’s a picture of a “Yeti” that approached our car at a gas station in India last April! I thought of you when I snapped it.

I was quite impressed by the outfit and in the heat. I think his idea was to approach tourist cars for money. He’s worth it. I have him on video as well, making hissing growls. I was also surprised by the cultural influence. Many of these far away places have learned to parody themselves in situ!

Our thanks to Dr. Hamlin for the look, and permission to share the photograph here, as well.
